The Brightside: Beetroot Brownies
BEETROOT BROWNIES 


A rich and earthy wintery treat you will want to eat fresh and warm from the oven! We are all for using root veggies as treats this season. If you are a fan of baked goods like carrot cake or sweet potato bread, then you will love beetroot brownies. They are a great way to get some hidden veggies into the kids too.
